How can Zoology tutoring help you succeed?

Zoology is the study of animals as organisms and as components of living ecosystems. Zoology is an essential course for aspiring biology majors or those pursuing degrees in more applied fields, such as wildlife management or conservation. There are even a few select schools with programs in managing zoological parks. In all cases, students will need solid foundations in general biology, including cell theory, energy flow, symbiotic relationships, the carbon cycle, and basic organismal biology. These courses form the foundation of the field of zoology. Students who feel unprepared to tackle this wide array of subject matter may find personal zoology tutoring to be an effective means of getting up to speed in the necessary disciplines. Varsity Tutors can help students connect with tutors who have attended leading programs in many fields of biology and can help you succeed in your various zoology courses.

Under the umbrella of zoology, there is a surprisingly broad array of subtopics: anatomy, physiology, mechanisms of disease, social behavior, ecology, and evolution all play a role. In the past 20 years, genetics has also become an increasingly important component of zoological studies. Understanding genetics is key for understanding evolutionary conservation strategies, identifying unknown or undiscovered species, and even tracking rare and elusive species in the wild. In the Himalayas, for example, the snow leopard is nearly extinct. Where it still lives, it is shy and reclusive, since it has learned to fear human hunters. Determining where it exists and how many of the animals exist in a given area depends almost entirely on being able to collect hair and fecal specimens from the landscape for lab-based genetic identification. Too many biology programs, however, still consider genetics a separate discipline. This causes many students encountering genetics questions in a zoology course to be perplexed. Zoology tutoring can help ease that confusion.

The same is true for ecology, another often-overlooked subject in general biology classes that becomes critical at higher levels or study. Zoology tutoring can help with a student's overall acclimation to upper-level science courses in college. Entry-level courses are often taught by teacher's assistants or overwhelmed adjunct professors. More specialized classes, like zoology, are frequently taught by professors who are actively pursuing research in the field. The material often draws less from textbooks and more from primary literature, and may even be taken directly from the professor's own research. Adapting to the change in focus from a traditional textbook to sophisticated primary literature can be challenging for students. An experienced tutor can ease the transition and help any aspiring student thrive as a real scholar.

A personal zoology tutor can offer a significant advantage professors cannot: individual attention. A tutor is able to take the time to get to know their students on an individual basis and take a full inventory of the student's foundational knowledge of the subject. It is then much easier to determine what areas need to be addressed before the student will be prepared to assimilate the new material. A tutor can also evaluate their student's individual learning style and create custom lesson plans that target the student's academic needs and delivers the information in a format that will make it more accessible.

Zoology tutoring sessions can be scheduled at a location in which the student feels most comfortable. This may be the student's home, school campus, local library, or coffee shop. Students can even request face-to-face online sessions using our live learning platform. Tutoring sessions can be scheduled during the day, evening, or on weekends. The flexibility offered by private tutors makes it easy to fit the needed academic assistance into the busiest of schedules. Varsity Tutors specializes in helping students connect with experienced tutors in a variety of subjects, including zoology. Contact us today!

Recent Tutoring Session Reviews

★★★★★

"The student and I worked on preparing for his biology and Spanish finals. We finished his practice test for biology, which ended with sequencing and restriction enzymes. We reviewed how sequencing works and the role of restriction enzymes. We spent the rest of the time reviewing the subjunctive tense for Spanish."

★★★★★

"The student and I reviewed her lab report on enzyme function, as well as did a final review for her exam. She is going to send me a copy of the lab report prior to its due date. I think she is in great shape for her exam, as she is very solid with all the content on her review sheet."

"For this session, the student and I reviewed several concepts for her Biology final. We went over concepts like the Ecosystem, Biomes, Climate, Habitats, etc. We also reviewed the respiratory system, climate change, and the nervous system. It was a lot of information to cover in a short amount of time, but she answered quite well after I quizzed her at the end of the session. "

★★★★★

"We reviewed for the students Final Exam next week using a study guide his teacher provided.
We reviewed these Topics:
1) Characteristics of Living Things
2) Ecology (Biomes/Ecosystems/Communities/Populations)
3) Genetic Material (DNA/RNA)
4) Photosynthesis /Cellular Respiration
5) Plant Tissues and structures
We left the second half of the review packet to work on the following day (June 5)."

★★★★

"During this past session, the student and I worked on review for his upcoming Biology Exam. We started off working through his practice test work-book and made sure to do thorough content review for each topic that he was confused on. Afterwards, we went over his recent science homework assignment and he seemed to show a good grasp of the material. "

★★★★

"We covered the genetic basis of evolution during this session. We talked about different models of natural selection, genetic drift, allele frequencies, Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, speciation, and reproductive isolation. He got his test back from last Friday, and he saw an improvement in scores compared to before. We went over some sample questions for the chapter that we covered, and he did well answering them."

★★★★★

"We worked on an assignment regarding an analysis of an article. We then discussed and planned what material we needed to cover and reviewed study strategies. I assigned the student to watch some instructional videos, because we do have a lot of material to cover. "

★★★★★

"During this session we reviewed material in Biology related to ecology. We first reviewed different classifications of climates and then moved on to discussing the interactions that occur in ecosystems. For example, we talked about the different types of cycles such as the carbon cycle and the nitrogen cycle. In addition we reviewed the different classification of species such as herbivores, carnivores and omnivores. We also reviewed the different levels in the ecosystem and how these levels interact with each other. In addition, we solved some questions from the chapter review section of the textbook."

★★★★★

"We went over some exam questions. She quickly got used to the questions and soon was answering a majority of the questions correctly. She does know the material well."

★★★★

"A great deal of today's session was spent on Biology review for the final exam. The entire review packet was completed. Every question was explained in great depth. She has a geometry test tomorrow. The student has been preparing by re doing the math review packet. I also assigned at least 10-15 questions from each section of the chapter to be redone in preparation for tomorrow. "

★★★★★

"The student did research on specific plants and more general classes of them as well as their habitats. He wrote faceted descriptions and added iconic pictures of plants describing the habitats in which they survived. He also had to research how people affected the habitats of the aforementioned plants. He did well researching and writing his poster material."

★★★★

"We have been reviewing the past year of Biology for the student's test coming up. We also have gone over genetics for his test and did some Ecology as well as he may have a test on that soon too. He is doing fine and has been able to retain a large portion of information from earlier in the year."
